A leopard on Monday entered a house in Udaipur’s Semar area after it had strayed from a nearby forest, officials said.
According to forest officials, the leopard was spotted inside the house of a temple priest who at the time was on the ground floor while his daughters were on the first floor.
The house owner then informed the forest officials who reached the spot and tranquilised the animal, who was in one of the rooms of the house’s first floor, in an operation which took around two hours.
